Well, it's our last morning at Arena Del Mars. So sad! It's been wonderful here. The parakeets came by to say adios.

Jack came walking with me this morning, so I was looking hard for the motmots. And we found them! There were two, and they gave us quite a show. :-)

This waterthrush was trying its best to distract us from the motmots.

See? There were two! :-)

Down at the beach the swallows were missing again, but we did see this yellow-headed caracara. It was perched there for quite some time. What a treat!

Yes, yes, it's quite a nice tail.

A sandpiper laughing at me, daring me to try to ID it. Someday!

The black-hooded antshrike pair was on the path again, and again the female pretty much defeated my camera. You will just have to take my word for it - she is gorgeous!

Then a new sight - antbirds! There were 3 or 4 of them, hopping around, where the light was the absolute worst, and moving quicker than a camera. Brown back, black head, blue orbital skin.

I think they must have been chestnut-back antbirds. Sadly these were the best pictures I got.

And an agouti! :-) A great walk for our last day.
